There is an inherent danger in allowing the government to make too many of our decisions. It is one thing to make a recommendation, educate etc but quite another to enforce. It is a short leap from government advising to government interference. Just look at what government has done with business regulations that are strangling companies with red tape.

Why is it that with abortion "pro-choice" is favored by liberals? However when it comes to a person's private eating habits "pro-choice" isn't an option?

Less and smaller government is the main theme in this election year. So Team Obama will attempt to put his best foot forward and advertise on how much better we would be to sit back and let the government drive. Before you swallow that line repeat to yourself Greece, Greece, Greece.
